New Nintendo 3DS Models Arriving in Europe in 2015

By Az Elias 29.08.2014 2

Nintendo has confirmed that the New Nintendo 3DS systems will not arrive in Europe until 2015.

Speaking to Eurogamer, a Nintendo spokesperson said the following with regards to the new models coming to Europe:

Different territories make their own business decisions regarding individual products and timing. We plan to launch these products in Europe in 2015.

We have a variety of compelling portable gaming options for consumers now and through the Christmas shopping season, including a variety of different Nintendo 2DS and Nintendo 3DS XL bundles at retail. We also have a strong library of hundreds of games for these systems that appeal to all kinds of players, with titles like Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire still on the way before the end of the year.

A wise decision for Nintendo to concentrate on the games in Europe for the remainder of the year, or a missed opportunity this Christmas?

Those Smash Bros XLs won't get their time in the limelight if Nintendo are showing off an upgrade! Smilie

I reckon Nintendo will have to drop the prices of the existing lines of 3DS' as people will surely hold off on getting one until they can get a much better model for pretty much the same price.

I think this is a silly move! I reckon this could have shifted so many more "New 3DS'" if it launched with Smash!
